Leave the rest of the world behind for the magic of Indonesia’s gorgeous Riau Islands with a tropical villa stay at Banyan Tree Bintan. Surrounded by virgin rainforest and a private beach, this dreamy resort is the perfect place to hide away in luxury.

Fabulous facilities include three incredible restaurants, serving everything from modern European dishes to Thai cuisine, two refreshing swimming pools when you’d like to cool off, and the blissful Banyan Tree Spa, where traditional Balinese massages with homemade oils await. Just beyond the resort’s perimeter, keen golfers can delight in the Greg Norman-designed 18-hole Laguna Bintan Golf Club, boasting breathtaking ocean views from the green. Bintan’s white-sand beaches, tropical greenery, monkey-filled mangrove forest and sacred temples invite exploration in between lounging poolside with a cocktail in hand.
